WILLIAM    DARLINGTON. 

Born  near  the  ancient  village  of  Dilworth,  now  Dilworthtown,  Birmingham 

township,  Chester  County,  Pennsylvania,  April  28,  1782. 

Died  at  West  Chester,  Pa.,  April  23,  1863. 


Let  the  plants  of  Chester  which  he  loved  and  described,  blossom  forever  above 
his  tomb." 

(  By  his  wish  inscribed  upon  the  tomb  of  William  Darlington,  in  Oaklands 
Cemetery,  at  West  Chester.  ) 


Flowers  have  an  expression  of  countenance  as  much  as  men  and  animals. 
Some  seem  to  smile  ;  some  have  a  sad  expression  ;  some  are  pensive  and  dif- 
fident ;  others  again  are  plain,  honest  and  upright 

HENRY  WARD  REECHER. 

Ye  wild  flowers  !  the  gardens  eclipse  you  'tis  true  : 

Yet,  wildings  of  nature,  I  dote  upon  you, 

For  ye  waft  me  to  summers  of  old, 

When  the  earth  teemed  around  me  with  fairy  delight, 

And  when  daisies  and  buttercups  gladdened  my  sight, 

Like  treasures  of  silver  and  gold. 

THOMAS  CAMPBELL. 

JTo  me  the  meanest  flower  that  blows  can  give 
Thoughts  that  do  often  lie  too  deep  for  tears. 

WILLIAM  WORDSWORTH. 


And  from  his  ashes  may  be  made 
The  violet  of  his  jiative  land.

INTRODUCTION. 

"  When  we  take  a  survey  of  mankind  in  general,  and  of  the 
several  requisites  by  which  life  is  rendered  comfortable  and  desira- 
ble, the  productions  of  the  Vegetable  Kingdom  are  amongst  the 
foremost ;  -as  affording,  the  principal  necessaries,  conveniences,  and 

luxuries  of  life." 

HUMPHRY  MARSHALL. 


No  tree  in  all  the  grove  but  has  its  charms, 
Though  each  its  hue  peculiar. 

WILLIAM  COVVPER. 


Cedar,  and  pine,  and  fir,  and  branching  palm, 
A  sylvan  scene,  and  as  the  ranks  ascend 
Shade  above  shade,  a  woody  theatre 
Of  stateliest  view. 

JOHN  MILTON. 

The  woods  appear 

With  crimson  blotches  deeply  dashed  and  crossed,— 
Sign  of  the  fatal  pestilence  of  Frost.  . 

BAYARD  TAYLOR. 


For  mine  is  the  old  belief 
That  midst  your  sweets  and  midst  your  bloom, 
There's  a  soul  in  every  leaf ! 

BALLOU. 

For  the  tree  of  the  field  is  man's  life.  Deuteronomy  xvi  :  19. 

Consider  the  lilies  of  the  field,  how  they  grow  ;  they  toil  not,  neither  do  they 
spin  ;  and  yet  I  say  unto  you,  that  even  Solomon  in  all  his  glory  was  not  ar- 
rayed like  one  of  these.  Matthew  vi  :  29,  jo. 


Flowers  are  words 
Which  even  a  babe  may  understand. 

A  wilderness  of  sweets. 


BISHOP  COXE. 
JOHN  MILTON.

There's  rosemary,  that's  for  remembrance  ;

HAMLET. 


It  never  rains  roses  ;  when  we  want 

To  have  more  roses  we  must  plant  more  trees.        GEORGE  ELIOT.
